Day 30 & 31: Vote for Ethan ... Deadline is TOMORROW!

Some things are just too precious not to share. For those of you who know Ethan Altshuler, Linda Sherman's son, my nephew, you know what a gifted artist and talented young boy he is. He is far wiser then most of his 5th grade peers, made evident by his drawings and powerful and descriptive words. So today's post is about two events happening in Ethan's life.

For one, he is a finalist in the Aaron Brothers Art Contest for 9 -12 year olds. If he is selected, he and his family win a 3 day trip to the Crayola Factory. You must see his drawing and I know you will be compelled to vote for him. Visit www.aaronbrothers.com/vote On the left side you will see “VOTE” He is in the 9-12 age group. His picture is called “Ways to be Green”. Please vote for Ethan's art work today as May 21 is the deadline.

Second, Ethan left this week for his class trip to Astro Camp. Before he departed he wrote his Mom a note:

If every Mommy received a note like this from their son when he departed on an adventute, the world would be perfect. Enjoy this happy story!
